Nine months old already!

It is so hard to believe that Gabe will be nine months on February 27. In just three short months, he will be one year old.

Wow. Time flies!

He is still talking up a storm and has added "ddddd" to his vocab. We're trying to get him to say daddy, of course. This week, I will also start feeding him solids three times a day, in addition to continued nursing.

I haven't written much on this blog about the parents (Craig and Carisa; remember us?). Last week, I had to get one of my molars prepped for a crown, :(. It wasn't too bad. I have never been particularly skittish about dental work. I currently have a temp crown on and it's been fine. I avoid sticky and hard foods. Unfortunately, there is a huge bag of Doritos on the kitchen counter that is constantly taunting me.

Craig has just launched the new and improved website for his employer, iovation. Check it out. I think he has done a really great job!

One thing I think we will do this weekend to unwind is to check out this new cupcake place, called Bliss. Portland seems to have this strange fascination with exotic cupcakes. We've already checked out Saint Cupcake, which is excellent. Now, we will check out this new place and see if they are any good. What is great, is that this place is within walking distance of our house. Nice.
